Board texture analysis is crucial for Omaha Hi/Lo decisions:
Low-Friendly Boards:
• A-2-7 rainbow - Great for low draws
• 3-5-8 with two suits - Low draws with flush potential
• A-4-6 - Wheel draw possibilities
High-Only Boards:
• K-Q-J with two suits - No low possible
• 9-T-J rainbow - Pure high hand battle
• A-A-K - Trips and high pairs dominate
Dangerous Boards:
• A-2-3 - Many players have low draws (counterfeiting risk)
• 8-7-6 - Marginal low cards, straight possibilities
• Paired boards - Full house potential, complicates low
Counterfeiting:
• Your A-2 becomes less valuable on A-2-3 board
• Low cards on turn/river can kill your low draw
• Always consider how board changes affect your hand
